rel; but after the December, January
or February rains the entire country
seems to bloom out as if by magic.
The mesa at the foot of the Sierra
Madres takes on a fiery yellow hue,
so vivid and intense that it is seen
far out at sea, the sailors calling the coun-
try 1.-The land of fire.
The cause of this charge of color is the
poppy that suddenly puts in an appear
ance, and by somewhat cratic distr-
button it grows in long lanes or rivers
winding over the San Gabriel valley,
presenting a wonderfully attractive
si-ht.
In no country have I seen such a
wealth of flowers, variety succeeding va
riety, until in the eastern mid-winter in
February or later have sat upon my
horse knee-deep in flowers and watched
the snow whirling upon the distant
range and tossed into the air by the
mountain gale.
Beauty of form, rich contrasts of color
and infinite variety are not the only at
fractions the botanist finds in the valley

planted.
If now we place drop of water upon a
| tightly twisted arm it will Immediately
begin to uncoil; but note that the re-
verse motion has yet propelling effect
upon the seed md forces it in The
suns rays soon dry the water we have
placed upon it, when the original move
ment is begun again The philosophy
of all this is evident--the arm twists
when dry and untwists when moistened,
and nature provides these two conditions
in day and night.
In few hours these apparently
animated screw drivers will force their
seeds into the earth; not by screwing
them, it must be remembered, as the
arm only twists, and by the continual
pushing q the tips in its gyrations the
barbed seed is forced into the earth.
have one of these seeds planting itself
by my side as I write The stalk or
arm when moistened makes a revolution
in about one minute. When the moisture
evaporates from the heat of the apart
ment the opposite motion is commenced,
so at the will of moisture and dryness
this novel self-planting goes on.

table is a single wild oat, Acena .tatua,
one of the most familiar examples of
hygroscopism. In very olden times the
arm of this was utilized by magicians to
further their tricks and beliefs among
the superstitious. The would-be sorce-
rers described the seed as the leg of a
magic spider, and showed their credu-
lous auditors that it would squirm at
their command. BY placing the mouth
near the supposed spiders leg the i'm
poster would deity dampen it by his
breath, and 80 produce the squirming
motion. The movement of the arm of
the oat is much more rapid than in the
one described, though not any more
effective in planting, if as much.
The force with which these seeds pene-
trate foreign substances is somewhat
remarkable. In making sections have
found them completely penetrating
leaf, and nearly all were in the ground
to a greater or less depth, or at least
covered, and can only be pulled out by
breaking the arm, the earth about them
being ba'-o hard and dry.

THE PAGAN IDEA OF DEATH.
Its Effect Upon the Character of the
Ancient Greek.

Death was the beautiful genius, twin
brother Of sleep, who extinguished the torch
as gently as the moon steals out when the
sun has set. He was no grisly King of Ter
rors, with his scythe in his tieshless hand
grinning in mockery as he mows down the
laughing crowds chasing that phantom,
Pleasure over the steep edge into the IN
fathomable abyss. He was the fair-faced,
soft-heshed, poppy-crowned, who came with
noiseless steps, and led the wearied soul 10
rest with tender hand. Though Hades was
dim and dark and the fields of Asphodel
were but sorrowful Fairgrounds for the
strengthless heads of those WHO had won the
prizes at Olympia and tanned horses at Els,
still the idea Of death was more beneticent
than malevolent and his form was as
beautiful as the fate he heralded was at the
least free from pain and torture. Before
that inevitable time should have come when
the last farewells must needs be said and the
fair things of earth abandoned, the Greek
filled up his rose-crowned cup to the brim
and drank the wine of happiness to the last
clear drop. Wherever he went and what
ever he did he surrounded himself with
beauty as with a garment; and the rhyth
mic harmonies Of his early education pene-
trated his mature existence and made his
whole world misunderstanding Rtviesc.

THE JUBILEE CAKE.
The Queen Presented With a Monster Ten
Feet in Height.

One of the incidents Of the jubilee celebra-
ton IN England was the presentation Of a
cake to the Queen by the firm that had sup
piled the coronation cake fifty years before.
The jubilee cake is about nine feet six inches
in circumference, ten feet high and weighs,
without the decorations over quarter of a
ton. The design represents the crown,
guarded by lions, surmOunted by a temple
bearing figures of Fame and Glory, with
trumpets in their hands, heralding the iubi-
lee to the four quarters Of the world. These
again are surmounted by temples crowned
by winged figure of Peace, bearing the
crown Of empire; the panels Of the base, en-
broidered in gold on white satin and each Of
which are worth three guineas, bear the
royal monogram. and between them are
figures in relief representing the four quar-
tiers of the world Medallions between the
lions are correct portraits in relief of her
majesty and his royal highness the Prince
Consort at the time of the royal marriage
1910; of her majesty in the year 1867 (taken
for Canada; of her majesty at the present
time as Queen and Empress Of India. The
other medallions bear the names of the prin-
cipal portions Of the empire. The border
round the top of the actual cake which is
particularly well executed, represents gar
land of rose, shamrock and thistle. The
making of the entire cake has kept two
specialists busy for the last four months.

of the angels. Curious conditions of
plant life and strange notifications are
everywhere seen. In leaning from my
horse one day to gather some flowers
felt a sharp blow upon my face, and soon
observed that minute projectiles were
being launched from some invisible
source. Dismounting and reclining on
the mesa discovered that the projectiles
proceeded from the alflarea, the Southern
California substitute for grass, that af-
fords such an interesting example of dis
persal. The seeds we're just ripe, and
were becoming detached with such vio-
lence that by actual measurement they
sprang almost two feet from the parent
stalk, and in patch of the plant they
could be seen springing into the air in
every direction.
In all the instances of dispersion on
record / think none so remarkable as
this, as the seed is not only enabled to
leap from the pseudo-pod, but to plant
itself securely in the earth-one of the
most interesting instances in all plant
life. The alfilarea is found growing in
many instances in hard. adobe ground,
where the surface is to some extent sun
baked, and it is very doubtful if many
seeds would obtain foothold if nature
did not give them some special means !;
they would perhaps be pushed to the
wall in the struggle that evidently
exists.
Taking small section of the soil be-
meath the plants, found that it was per-
forated in every direction by the seeds
and their stalks, their numbers being
sufficient to attract horses and cattle,
who will eat the upper crust or portion
of the surface for the purpose of obtain
ing these buried seeds.
When the seeds are ripe the arms sud-
denly bend upon themselves, the recoil
sending the little projectiles in every
direction. As they land upon the ground
they resemble minute arrows The seed
with its covering of short bronzed hairs
represents the barb, while the shaft is
the seed stalk or arm. The moment the
latter is free or drops from the pseudo
pod it bends, the motion reveals several
long white hairs that have until now lain
parallel with it. The stalk bends so rap
idly that in ten seconds it is at right
angles to the seed, and is seen to be twist
ing, the long white hairs twitching like
the attenuated legs of some curious
insect. The arm twists so rapidly that
the tendency is to push the seed into the
ground with an auger-like movement, and
as the latter is all one way, as we observe
it, it is evident,that the arm will twist

scent of the roses would cling to
them for long time.
If you find ices "deliciously fetching"
as our English cousins say, then you
ought to be charmed with the new tutti-
Jruahl, which, unlike the other, is nearly
all fruit. Oranges, bananas, lemons and
plneapples are cutinto the finest pieces
possible and then all mixed together,
powdered sugar and nutmeg being added.
According to the number of visitors are
large, well-shaped oranges then selected !;
hole big enough for a spoon to enter is
made at the top, the inside taken out and
the perfect shell is filled with the pre-
pared fruit. When it is all in, cham
payne is added and fills up the crevices :;
the oranges are then frozen and eaten
with the smallest of gold spoons. Epi-
cures who disdain ices approve of these
and SO dainty housekeepers are trying
their hands at making the beautiful des-
serts which are, in reality, quite mex
pensive, only the trouble costing.
Seeing the name of Mr.. Peter Marie
among the list of those who sailed
the other day reminds me of the time
when, by her graceful tact, Madame Nils
son eXtricated herself from an awkward
situation. She was dining out and some
question of goodbye kiss came up.
Looking around the table she saw there
were none but bachelors present, SO she
announced that she was willing to give
goodbye kiss to any husband there.
Mr.. Marie, her host, said: ''Ah madame,
even am cut off from this great pleas
ure" But with a wondrous wit she
gave him a kiss, because, as she explained,
bachelor though he was, "Vous etes
marie' you are marred)-the very
decided accent given to the name making
it correct. thought of this, for it is the
only bon mat have ever heard attributed
to the fair if cold Marguerite. Bah.
